Hello all.
First of all i need to say what D is a best compiling programming language i ever seen.
I think i found a problem when play with Buton Radons dig library. It look like very serious, but i found it very outdated and tryed to make it compilable with current dmd. I`m compile digc, but it can`t help me. Probably it is designed not for the windows9x environment -- it is produce too long command line strings to run dmd compiler. So i go to compile dig by hands (with a very simple written-in-several-minutes ruby script). There many changes was made on dig source -- library names like 'ctype' -> 'std.ctype', operator overloading methods like 'addass' -> 'opAddAssign', etc. And at some moment i was stopped by a message when compiling net\BurtonRadons\dig\common\math.d:
Internal error: ..\ztc\cod2.c 4116
with a command 'dmd -O -unittest -c net\BurtonRadons\dig\common\math.d-ofnet\BurtonRadons\dig\common\math.obj'. When i drop -O switch i receive different error message:
Internal error: ..\ztc\cgcs.c 350
which is stop me totally. What can i do with it? May be there is a different, more successful effort to port dig to current dmd?
Version of dmd compiler is 0.76. (After this report is written, i found what a new version 0.77 is available. All are the same except line numbers in error messages. They are respectively: 4183 and 353).
Another question about D in general: why there no default values for function parameters like:
void aaa(int a, float b, double c = 0.0)
? It is difficult to live without them.
BTW: is there a news->maillist gateway for this group?

Someone did that already.(Andy or JJ?)
do a seach on this news group.
the dig link on the D links page should be marked as outdated and a new link to the updated version should be offered.

Can you reduce it to a small bit of source code that reproduces the problem?
